🌟 Hello, crafty friends! 🌟 I hope you're all having a wonderful Saturday! This week I had the chance to create some beautiful cards using the newly released stencil sets from the Waffle Flower Postage Collage collection. If you couldn't join me live, don't worry—I've got you covered! You can catch the replay below and see all the fun and creativity in action.
During the live session, I created one card in full and ink blended a panel for the others. These new stencil sets are absolutely stunning, featuring whimsical butterfly designs that are perfect for any occasion. My first foray into the Postage Collage craze was SO much fun, and I see my collection growing exponentially in the near future. Lol! 😉
If you want to see the magic happen, check out the video below to watch the entire card-making process.
